The connection between word and number has been a subject of interest for centuries. Paolo Zellini explores this idea through a thorough examination of ancient texts, revealing that the Greek concept of logos, meaning 'disourse' or 'word', was also associated with the notion of number. In Homeric verses, early theogonies, tragedy, and Pythagorean philosophy, logos is shown to encompass both word and number. This connection is also found in ancient ritual sources that describe the origins of mathematics. By studying these concepts, we can gain insight into the roots of Western philosophical and scientific thought. This book offers a unique perspective on the evolution of knowledge, tracing the development of ideas from their earliest beginnings.
